San Bernardino begins renovation of Guadalupe Field

Renovations began this week on Guadalupe Field at Sal Saavedra Park starting with demolition of the baseball field. Leaders of San Bernardino Youth Baseball (SBYB) were joined by City of San Bernardino Mayor Helen Tran, Council members Fred Shorett, Damon Alexander, and San Bernardino County Supervisor Joe Baca Jr. to walk the field and view the work.

“I am thrilled to witness the transformation of Guadalupe Field and Sal Saavedra Park,” said San Bernardino Mayor Helen Tran. “This project is about more than just infrastructure; it’s about building a stronger community.”

The $1.8 million renovation includes replacing the baseball field, renovating the existing snack bar and press box, upgrades to the lighting, replace fencing, install new bleachers, build a new scoreboard, and install new park amenities.

Funding for the project came from both the San Bernardino City Council and County Board of Supervisors using funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

By improving our parks, we create spaces for our children to play, learn, and grow,” added Tran. “Thank you to Supervisor Baca and the San Bernardino Youth Baseball organization for their continued support of our youth and this important project.”

Construction is expected to be completed in late spring/early summer of 2025.
